.308 | 180gr | Nosler Partition
by Nosler · See details on brand website
The Nosler Partition bullet is expertly constructed with a dual-core design that incorporates both a soft lead front core and a copper-alloy rear core, separated by an integral partition. This construction approach ensures controlled expansion and deep penetration, making it highly suitable for big game hunting. The Partition's dual-core design allows the front section to expand rapidly upon impact, creating a large wound channel, while the partitioned rear core retains most of its weight, driving through to vital organs. Typically, weight retention is exceptional, often exceeding 65 percent, which is crucial for hunters pursuing large, thick-skinned game such as elk, moose, and African plains game. Available in a range of popular calibers like .30-06 Springfield, .270 Winchester, and 7mm Remington Magnum, this bullet caters to a variety of large-caliber applications. Handloaders appreciate the precision manufacturing and consistent performance, allowing them to tailor loads for optimal velocity and accuracy in their specific rifles.
